"Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself."
Hermann Hesse
My summer garden at the close of a long warm day is one of my favorite places to be. 15 minutes at peace amongst the plants has the power to restore my energies and settle my mind in an astonishingly effective way.
This year, what I hope to hold onto more than anything else is how necessary the stillness is.
For us all--children and adults alike.
The calendar fills up quickly each school year. The flurry of activity and the energy expressed each day is doable, and even enjoyable--when you take the time to breathe.
